Signs of Autumn Dishcloth:
Because this
particular design uses 18 stitches, multiple 18 by the size you want. I would recommend doing 36 + border of 8
stitches = 44 cast on stitches.
You would then
follow the above 24 rows for the pattern.
You will be doing the stitches between the border stitches in the swatch
twice. Example, for row 19 you would do the following:
K4, *P1, K1, YO, K2,
K2Tog, P1, SKP, K2, YO, K1, P1, K1, YO, K2, K2Tog*; repeat between the *’s, end
K4.
Row 9 would require
you to do this:
K4, *P1, SKP, K3,
YO, P1, YO, K3, K2Tog, P1, SKP, K3, YO*; repeat between the *’s, end K4. (You
would do the “YO” at the end, and then go to the *P1, SKP, K3 and so on.)
